Well that was interesting to put together. Some fun surprises in there for me. First off, I didn’t realize The Killers would get three songs…they just happen to have given the right letters to start their songs. I wasn’t surprised to have so few songs that started with the letter X, but having to dip all the way to a three-star Lifehouse for Q surprised me. Also didn’t realize that F and H were such awesome letters. Alright, enough of that!

Currently watching my Seattle Mariners play a 0-0 game in the 10th inning. This is a very different team than the one I used to watch lose 10-8 back in the 90’s.

I ate some bad coleslaw yesterday. Coleslaw should be sweet. I know places like to change things up, but horseradish coleslaw should be advertised as such. I could have had waffle fries!

The clarinet doesn’t even sound nice. Just sayin’.

I hate when people make other people feel bad just for the sake of making them feel bad. Yes, this happened to me this morning.
